How to Maximize In-Office Skin Treatments: Pre-Care, Aftercare, At-Home Skincare & In-Office Boosters

On Skinside Out, the hosts discuss how to maximize in-office skin treatments with smart at-home skincare and optional in-office boosters. They explain that results depend heavily on what you do days to weeks before and after procedures, emphasizing sunscreen, hydration, barrier support, avoiding over-exfoliation, disclosing relevant medications/supplements (including fish oil and vitamin E), and avoiding tanning or self-tanner. They warn against scheduling aggressive treatments too close to major events due to downtime risks like swelling, bruising, flaking, redness, blistering, and crusting. Post-procedure, they stress following specific aftercare instructions, using gentle hydrating products (hyaluronic acid, ceramides, growth factors, peptides, exosomes), restarting actives cautiously, not picking or scrubbing, limiting heat/sweat and workouts, and being patient for collagen-building results. They also cover boosters like PRP, exosomes, targeted serums, tranexamic acid, and red light therapy, noting personalization and melasma considerations.00:00 Maximize Treatment Results01:58 Why Prep Matters02:52 Pre Treatment Essentials05:46 Pre Treatment Donts08:09 Post Treatment Care13:31 Post Treatment Donts17:18 Key Ingredients After Healing19:49 In Office Boosters23:03 Personalize Your Plan23:50 Final Takeaways
